Why is Audio Technica ATH-M50x so popular? 

The answer is simple and straightforward, these headphones have exceptional clarity and accurate bass response, it is well-built, sturdy, and feels durable although it is made entirely of plastic, the plastic used here is of high-quality. It is quite comfortable for long listening sessions but does not match the standards that are set up by the higher-end studio headphones. ATH-M50x can be easily carried around with its 90 degrees swiveling rotatable earcups which also provide one-ear audio monitoring. The headband and earcups are professional-grade and feel really comfortable for casual as well as professional use.

It provides an almost neutral frequency response, but there is a slight emphasis on the lows, which is not a deal-breaker of course, as it is quite cheaper compared to other high-end studio monitoring headphones.

These headphones produce high-frequencies better as in with string instruments. ATH-M50x masks some mids and highs which is quite expected at the price point it comes.

The ATH-M50x headphones also offer okayish Passive isolation from ambient noise.

The Audio Technica ATH-M50x comes with a protective leather pouch and 3 detachable cables, comprising of a 1.2 m straight cable, a 1.2 m to 3 m coiled cable, and a 3 m straight cable along with a 6.35 mm screw-on adapter to connect it to an Audio Interface if you have one.
The 3.5 mm connectors and the quarter-inch Adapter is Gold-Plated.
